Pope Benedict XVI: 5 Ways He Changed the World of Roman Catholics

Pope Benedict XVI has made an impact on the Roman Catholic community. Here is a look back on the way he's changed the world.

The New Evangelization

Pope Benedict was the first pope to own an ipod. He has a Twitter account and encourages Catholics to use modern media to evangelize and bring Christ into the world anew. The Holy Father encourages Catholics to first evangelize themselves by deepening their faith and learning the basic truths and teachings before going out and “re-proposing” the Gospel to those who lack faith or are having a crisis of faith. As always, Benedict stresses a deep and personal relationship with Christ to facilitate this movement.
